Heyy!

G'day

[@bethanybanana7447]

I'm finding it really fun learning about inside the theatre and what goes on behind the scenes

[@mspatti]

Yeah, you were so happy here. Hans was already in the building. Glad the tough times are looking up.

[@aleishalyon3520]

Hope everyone has a lovely day :)

[@haushinka502]

I really liked your bit at the beginning about being realistically optimistic. I struggle with this bc in my country (the US) cases are spiking and the president can’t be bothered to do anything about it, so it’s easy to feel like things are never going to get better. But they will. Someday, they will.

[@eleanorcable7958]

I actually just emailed the same question in twice as I really wanted to hear your guys opinions on theatre hierarchy 😂 - thanks so much for answering xx

[@adelebuxton9690]

Thank you for managing to be so positive, despite everything. Although I am not a professional, I have been involved in amateur theatre and improvisation all my life. My whole life revolves around it, and has done forever. Everything I was going to do, or would have expected to be doing has been cancelled...and it will be a year and half to two years before I can go back to it. That is, if I can get back to it at all. I have been struggling to come to terms with not performing and the prospect of my life not revolving around it. This gives me hope.

[@mind_palace]

0:22 yep definitely a warm friendly voice👌💫

eh in america we were smacked with reopening way too soon and now we're all struggling lol

Someone cast Carrie in Panto 🤩

[@emilyswanderland]

did I involuntarily squeal when I saw carrie's disney world top? absolutely.

[@FebruaryGhost]

Going through these videos and holy shit THANK YOU OLIVER for mentioning Something Rotten in Birmingham, because I’ve wanted to see that show with my dad since it opened on Broadway, and I completely missed that it was coming over here. (Even though it’s still a massive journey for us as we live well up north) THANK YOU

[@nattybrown]

One of the rehearsal rooms at The National Theatre has a revolve thats the same dimensions as the one in the Olivier Theatre there.

[@willowarmstrong5136]

chichester shows are amazing:)

[@fayej]

Thank you for answering my question about revolves! I’d always wondered how it works in rehearsals, it was really interesting to hear!

[@sophiehare3131]

Am I on a zoom call watching this....maybe

[@kates3730]

I’m so happy my local theatre company is still doing a performance of Xanadu. I am in it and I had my opening day today on the 16. We had to wear clear masks, the audience how to social distance, and we had a live stream of it as well for grandparents

[@KatesAdventures]

I done a Les Mis production with a revolve, every rehearsal the director carefully drew it out on the floor in chalk and measured to make sure it was the same dimensions etc 😂 Most of the stage revolves happened at the end of scenes and it was mostly 180 degree revolves so in rehearsals we either performed to the back wall or the front wall depending on where the stage would be when we walked on from the wings. Then when we rehearsed with the revolve for the first time, we went to the same spot and knew the stage would eventually turn so the audience could see us. So yeah, not that big a change for the actors but a real headache for the production team I imagine.

[@xtheaceofspades]

My dream was to travel and sing so when I got my first cruise it was the best! West end never appealed to me cause I don’t want to live in London 🤷🏽‍♀️ however I’m always amazed when friends make it there!

[@SanAndreas0611]

I think they give you ‘real’ metal swords because the weight of them helps with acting... it would be hard to swing a plastic/foam/rubber one convincingly because they would weigh so little... the same with stage guns, they are normally metal and heavy so the performers handle them more convincingly.

[@hannahproctor7161]

A perfect example of this is empty cups/mugs in movies, they're never held with the same care as a full, spillable mug of tea or coffee would be 😂

[@TweetingRawr]

Oh god, Ollie talking about the cigarette thing broke me, so funny

[@georgiawilksch5708]

Plug sockets- if I’m travelling, I always bring a multiple extension lead. Vital for the unknown.

[@Lioness99a]

I used to figure skate and your 'don't' at the end made me giggle! I used to see 8 years olds spinning stood straight upright while holding one ankle next to their head... I never made it to that standard but they were crazy!

[@rosadiaz1739]

good morninh everyone✨hope everyone has an amazing day, stay safe, sending love to everyone xx

[@AbbyMaskell]

I've done shows during the Australian summer (think 40 degrees) in a tiny theatre with about twenty girls in a dressing room that's probably better suited to about 6-8 people with no air conditioning (or internet). One of the shows everyone was in full medieval costume and during intermission all of us girls with just wander around in just our bras and undies. There was also no window in the dressing room or internet.

[@jennyupabove]

Just thinking about that makes me feel too hot and panicky! 🥵

[@lesleycurrie7822]

I see another of shows of tour as my local theatre is Edinburgh Playhouse , and I've seen a load of shows on the West End and there is in my mind no difference in the quality of the shows . I'd love to see Carrie in Panto i think she'd be brilliant.

[@fletcher7580]

The way Oliver said meow 😂😂🥴

[@katefights]

Fight choreographer here! If a sword is just for show and not going to be used in a fight, then yeah, it could be plastic, but it's never going to look as good, even from the audience far away. The alternative to make it slightly less scary is to use an aluminum (hi, American) weapon instead of steel. But if you have to fight with it, it's so much safer to have a high quality, real (but dull) sword.

[@sandiamelonification]

Buen día argentinos si hay alguno/a disfrutando de estos videos de Ollie y Carrie

[@PetitChouPumpkin]

I think a lot of the hierarchy comes from pay... I always think about Daniel Radcliffe, he doesn’t have to work again ever, but he can make his choices based off what he wants to do, while others aren’t necessarily in the position to be choosy about their roles. They need to take roles that will pay, which impacts that hierarchy “ranking”

[@lailam1292]

have a great day everyone :)

[@xAbbieCx13]

Aww I'm gutted that Carrie didn't win her props, it would have been awesome for her to have those!

[@kuschelfrieda94]

Love the video! It confused me to no end that the title has the American spelling for theatre, though :D

[@kuschelfrieda94]

You changed the title! Sorry, I didn't want to come across like a stickler for grammar. It just honestly confused me. I really did love the video, though! Thank you for uploading so consistently - your videos have given my days some structure that I'm desperately missing during lockdown :)

[@davidcooper1978]

The spelling of "theatre" in the U.S. is a weirdly complicated matter. Some people always use "theater," some people always use "theatre," and some people use them interchangeably. Other people use "theater" for the location and "theatre" for the general art form. I think I've also seen people use "theatre" for the art form and live venues but "theater" for movie theaters (cinemas). It's a pretty strange phenomenon because with most other words like center, fiber, meter, etc., we always use the "er" spelling.

[@malachiyoung302]

i don't understand how anyone is thinking about going back to normal life yet, us in australia are going into our second wave after getting now to 1 or 2 cases a day, now we are at 200 a day in one state. PLS EVERYONE STAY SAFE. if we just knuckle down now we won't have to keep going in and out of quarantine.

If you do panto either of you please come to the Gordon Craig theatre in Stevenage

[@cijmo]

I think there is a 'snobbery' about West End...not from the stars, but from the fans. The last time I saw Les Mis in a touring cast here was just...the worst Les Mis I had ever seen (and I've been to high school versions). It was just... 'off'. Someone said "well, you've seen it on West End so obviously nothing is going to be as good." but, no, that's not it at all. I've seen AMAZING touring casts and AMAZING school casts. This one just fell flat.
